JAKARTA - The start of a happy month for the Killjoys. New Jersey rock band My Chemical Romance (MCR) announced the reunion stage. An answer to the long wait since the band decided to disband in 2013.

This was revealed by the frontman of the band, Gerard Way in an interview with The Guardian. Gerard said the success of the album "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys" influenced the disbandment of MCR. The pressure at that time was the culmination of the turmoil that the band had felt since the success of the album "The Black Parade".

"When things become successful and go well, that's when people start having opinions and you start struggling," he said, quoted from NME, Friday (1/11/2019).

"Everyone has an opinion on what the MCR should do. It makes it difficult to determine the direction to take. You are in the trap of thinking 'Is this good enough?'"

The reunion discourse has actually been echoing for years after the disbandment of MCR. "I miss playing with the members, but I don't think so (for the reunion)."

Now, the discourse is answered. MCR will hold a concert at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles. This stage is their first gig since 2012. The reunion stage will be present on Friday, December 20, 2019.

Several months ago, this rumor spread after singer Joe Jonas accidentally talked about the MCR reunion. “I saw My Chemical Romance rehearsing next to our studio in New York. I thought they had disbanded but I don't know, "Joe said in a radio interview.

The news was denied by MCR guitarist Frank Iero. “People won't forget that you're part of the Disney band, bro. Sorry, this will not happen, "Frank said, dismissing the rumors at the time.

MCR is an emo-rock band that was popular in the 2000s. "The Black Parade" is one of the albums that emo kids have become friends with in the past. This album was also selected as one of Rolling Stone's best albums.
